The above image is of a captive Bald Eagle at the Vancouver Aquarium. They do a regular show with a number of different birds performing demonstrations of flight and other things that birds do (yeah, real scientific stuff, I know). I was standing about six feet from this guy and grabbed a shot with my 70-200mm.
Sunset on English Bay from my hotel room at the Coast Plaza.
And finally a pano type shot from the 33rd floor of the hotel. Shot with my fisheye, with some minor distortion correction in Lightroom, and then cropped to a pano aspect. All in all it was a quick trip, but it was fun. We ate some great food, tried some great beer and I enjoyed a much needed 5 days off! Now I'll be working on another little vacation before winter comes. I'm really hoping I can get down to California for a few days this November, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the time off. Guess we'll see!
